Literary Master 1978

The next day, Lin Chaoyang took Tao Yushu to get the money.

Then he met with Lin Fugui. Du Feng acted as an intermediary and signed a document. Lin Chaoyang handed the first payment of 4,000 yuan to Lin Fugui, and then several people rushed to the Housing Management Office.

The most common business of the Housing Management Office these days is renting and adjusting houses. Renting is similar to house rental in later generations. The Housing Management Office acts as an intermediary and is responsible for registering the information of both parties to the rental. The only difference is that the Housing Management Office will verify the rental income of the homeowner.

Adjusting houses is the most important means for people in this era to improve their housing conditions.

In recent years, the housing conditions of urban residents in China have been very difficult, and there are many families living in small houses with an average of two or three square meters per capita.

At this time, there was no concept of commercial housing. Only a small number of houses were privately owned, and the property rights of most houses were owned by the state.

But many people have an urgent need to improve their housing conditions. What should they do? So there is the means of adjusting houses.

The specific operation of adjusting houses is that the party who wants to adjust houses looks for houses and matches them with people with similar needs in the vast sea of ​​people.

If the two parties like each other, they will give or receive compensation depending on the specific situation of the houses of both parties. This process is generally calculated in years.

The house exchange was originally a spontaneous act of the people, but in the 1960s, the demand for house exchange by the people of Yanjing increased sharply, forcing the Yanjing City to set up special "house exchange stations" in each district to meet the needs of residents to exchange houses within the district and across districts.

The houses exchanged are all public houses, which do not involve the change of ownership of the house, so the procedures are not complicated.

Lin Chaoyang and his friends want to buy a private house, which is very different. The housing management office can't handle many cases a year, especially Lin Fugui is an overseas Chinese. When the housing management office saw this situation, they couldn't help but treat it with caution and asked Lin Chaoyang and his wife for a bunch of certification documents.

Household registration book, marriage certificate, work certificate, income certificate...

You can't say that they are making things difficult for you, it's all official business.

Finally, after running for two more days, they finally completed the house registration procedures and got the house ownership certificate.

After coming out of the housing management office, Tao Yushu hugged Lin Chaoyang excitedly. After two years of marriage, the couple finally had their own little home.

After being happy, the couple went to Huaqiao Apartment with Lin Fugui. Lin Fugui explained the family situation to the couple and took them to the property management to register.

"Okay, now the house is yours." Lin Fugui said to Lin Chaoyang.

Now that everything is done, the house in Huaqiao Apartment is officially sold, and Lin Fugui looks in a good mood.

"The remaining money will be paid to you every six months as agreed." Lin Chaoyang said at last.

"Okay."

After seeing Lin Fugui off, Tao Yushu couldn't help but run upstairs to appreciate her and Lin Chaoyang's little home.

After she was happy, the two returned to Yanda and took the Tao family to visit their new home.

Having a new house is definitely a big deal for families of this era, and everyone talked and laughed along the way.

After entering the courtyard of the Overseas Chinese Apartment, Tao Yucheng said, "The environment here looks much quieter than Yanda."

It's just the beginning of spring, and the grass and trees in the courtyard are covered with tender green, showing a vibrant vitality. The most important thing is that the road is wide and the green area is large enough, giving people a sense of openness.

Tao's father and mother nodded as they looked at the environment in the courtyard. Just looking at the environment and facilities in the courtyard, the Overseas Chinese Apartment is indeed expensive.

It is true that Yandongyuan and Yannanyuan have villas, but the environment in the courtyard is a little worse than that of the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

"Wow!"

As soon as he entered the door, Tao Yumo was attracted by the spacious and bright living room and couldn't help but exclaimed.

The apartment of Lin Chaoyang and his family is 120 square meters. In the era without public areas, this 120 square meters is a real usable area.

The living room is 5.5 meters wide and nearly 6 meters deep. If the dining room connected to the living room is included, the depth reaches 8 meters.

The living room alone has an area of ​​more than 30 square meters. In this era when the per capita housing area is only a few square meters, such housing conditions can be regarded as luxurious.

The Tao family lives in the 50-square-meter Langrun Lake Apartment, which is already a very good living environment in this era, but compared with the Overseas Chinese Apartment, it can be said to be a world of difference.

Although it was already evening, the living room was still bright because of the good lighting.

Tao Yumo excitedly ran to the balcony of the living room, and a wide view was in front of her.

She turned around and ran to the bedroom next to her.

After a few seconds, she heard her "wow wow" non-stop.

"Sister, you are too extravagant, right? Two people live in such a big house!" Tao Yumo ran back excitedly and shouted to her sister, and then she asked: "No, I want to live here too. You can leave me a room, just the smallest one."

"You'll be so beautiful!"

"Sister~"

Tao Yumo hugged her sister's arm and begged, and Tao's father looked at the laughter of his two daughters and couldn't hide his smile on his face.

Tao's mother paid more attention to the house, with a gleam in her eyes, and was obviously very satisfied with the house.

"Wow! Even the toilet is tiled."

Zhao Li was also very interested in taking Tao Yucheng to visit the house, and she was surprised to find that the toilet was tiled.

For most buildings of this era, tiles are a very rare thing, let alone tiling in the toilet.

Lin Chaoyang pointed to the shower in the toilet and said: "I heard from the original owner that it was there when the house was delivered. The property here provides hot water, and the toilet is also a shower room."

"That's great!" Zhao Li was full of envy.

Tao Yucheng said casually: "It's great to have hot water. I will take a shower at your house in the future."

Zhao Li immediately pulled him, "Don't talk nonsense."

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said: "What does it matter?"

"That's right, it can also save money for a shower ticket." Tao Yucheng said proudly, and he asked Lin Chaoyang again: "Chaoyang, your hot water doesn't cost money, right?"

"No. The property fee is eight yuan a month, but it's not paid in vain."

Tao Yucheng immediately said: "Eight yuan a month, I can't afford it even if you give it to me."

"You know?" Zhao Li teased him.

"Chaoyang, I think your house is no worse than the villa in the garden." Tao Yucheng said.

Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "How can this place be compared with a villa!"

"It's different. The youngest of those villas in the garden is 40 years old, and the facilities can't be compared with yours. It's really worthy of being a house built for overseas Chinese. The standard and specifications are really not low!" Tao Yucheng sighed.

He was right. The Overseas Chinese Apartment was built in the 1960s. Even if it is put into today, more than ten years later, the construction standard is still the best in Yanjing.

The Tao family is also somewhat knowledgeable. The whole family walked around the house for more than half an hour, and finally came to an evaluation: it's worth the money.

Looking at Yanjing today, even the minister dare not say that the living conditions are better than theirs. Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu's 10,000 yuan is indeed not wasted.

The couple lives in a large house of more than 100 square meters. It is a bit extravagant, but who can let them have this condition?

In the past half an hour, Tao Yumo has been grinding her sister Tao Yushu, and finally Tao Yushu finally gave in and gave her the small bedroom facing north next to the dining room.

After getting her sister's permission, Tao Yumo was almost crazy with joy.

Although she had a separate room in Langrun Lake Apartment after her sister and brother-in-law moved out, how could the environment of Langrun Lake Apartment compare with that of Huaqiao Apartment?

The advantage of being able to take a hot bath at will was enough to make her happy.

Of course, her behavior was inevitably scolded by Tao's father and mother.

"The biggest advantage of Yushu and Chaoyang's house is that you don't have to mess around with it. You can just clean it up and live in it." Zhao Li said on the way home.

Huaqiao Apartment is a house that has been built for more than ten years, but the decoration specifications and quality are beyond reproach, only the style is a little old-fashioned.

The furniture is also complete, with sofas and coffee tables in the living room and wardrobes in the bedroom.

She asked Tao Yushu again, "Yushu, do you two want to buy any other furniture?"

"Chaoyang and I plan to turn the bedroom in the south into a study. We want to put in a large desk and two bookshelves." Tao Yushu said.

Tao's mother frowned and asked, "That will cost more money. You can move the desk at home."

Her tone was not good, but the subtext was that she hoped Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu would save money, after all, the house payment had not been paid in full.

"Mom, what will I use the desk if it is moved away?"

Tao Yumo immediately expressed her dissatisfaction. She was about to become the new owner of her sister and brother-in-law's room and legally inherit everything in the house. Her mother asked her sister to take the desk away. Wouldn't that damage her interests?

Before Tao's mother answered Tao Yumo's question, Tao Yushu denounced her, "I haven't left yet, and you're thinking about my desk? Your house is gone!"

Tao Yumo immediately realized that she couldn't lose the big picture for the small, and hurriedly apologized to her sister, saying that if her sister was willing, she could move the desk to the new house herself.

The sisters' quarrels were naturally not to be taken seriously.

Tao's mother was afraid that Lin Chaoyang and his wife would spend more money for their own good, but the money that should be spent should not be saved. Having a good environment is also helpful for Lin Chaoyang's creation.

Tao Yushu said a few words to her mother, who nodded and said nothing more.

In more than a year, the poor boy has become a well-known writer in China and has the ability to let his daughter live a happy life. She no longer looks down on Lin Chaoyang as before.

Especially after learning that the novel "Parents' Love" was written by Lin Chaoyang, Lin Chaoyang had praised her when he was interviewed by the school newspaper before, but at that time, Tao's mother felt that Lin Chaoyang was deliberately doing so and just saying some polite words to flatter her.

But the situation of "Parents' Love" is different this time. Tao's mother can deeply feel that if he did not truly understand her personality, experience and situation, her son-in-law would never write characters like An Jie and Dehua.

She even felt that her three children might not understand her as well as this son-in-law.

When she thought of this, Tao's mother couldn't help but feel a little guilty and self-blame.

She felt guilty for her previous bad attitude towards Lin Chaoyang and also blamed herself for her bad temper.

But it was impossible for her to apologize to Lin Chaoyang in a friendly manner. She had never apologized to anyone in this family!

The house was bought and the family members had finished looking at it. Next, Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu prepared to move into the new house.

Although the house did not need to be cleaned up, minor repairs were inevitable. The two planned to move after the house was cleaned up, so they had to stay in Tao's house for a while.

At the end of February, Lin Chaoyang took the correspondence entrance examination for the library department. With the previous preparation and the fact that it was business-related, this exam was not difficult for him and his colleagues at all.

Two days later, the test results came out, and nearly 20 people from the library were admitted to the library department and became correspondence students of the library department of Yanda University.

On the third day of school, Lin Chaoyang was called into the office by Xie Daoyuan.

"I heard from Lao Tao that you and Yushu bought a house?"

"Yes, just bought it, over at Huayuan Bridge."

Xie Daoyuan nodded, "The school is now short of housing for employees. Your part-time income is not bad, and it's good to be able to solve the housing problem yourself."

After talking about the house for a while, Xie Daoyuan talked about the main topic of why he came to find Lin Chaoyang today.

"You have been in the museum for a year and a half. Everyone generally reflects that your work attitude is very positive. This time you have also taken the correspondence course of the department. The museum will handle the formalization procedures for you in the next two days."

Lin Chaoyang stood up and said, "Thank you, Director!"

Xie Daoyuan waved his hand and asked him to sit down, "Don't thank me, this is the result of your own efforts."

He smiled easily and said, "Your achievements in creation are obvious to all. The museum also wants to keep talents like you."

Lin Chaoyang also smiled when he heard it.

When he returned home in the evening, Lin Chaoyang told his family the news that he was going to be a regular employee.

Tao Yucheng shouted, "This is moving to a new home and becoming a regular employee. Chaoyang is really a double blessing this time. We have to celebrate today."

He turned his head and said, "Mom, give me two dollars, I'll go buy some vegetables!"

Tao's mother glared at him unhappily and took out a five-dollar bill.

Looking at the bill in his hand, Tao Yucheng felt a little uncomfortable.

In the past, when he asked his mother for money, he was always glared at and scolded. Today, he was just glared at.

I want two dollars, but you give me five dollars. What do you mean?

What do you mean?
